Fashion Through the Decades

Writing Example:

Is Fashion Important in my life To be honest, actually fashion is not so important for me and it is not a theme that I like to discuss. Usually I like comfortable and normal clothes. I prefer to use plain shirts, jeans and shoes in day-to-day. I think that jeans and t-shirts will always be in style, but I don’t like tights pants. Of course, when I go to specials events, like weddings, I dress up and use more formal and appropriate clothes like suits. People in my country normally go to parties using casual clothes. In the last years, Brazilian designers are creating one own style that is interesting, but like in other countries, normal people won’t wear many of these fashion clothes because they are inappropriate for use in the street. I note differences between Canadian and Brazilian fashion. Considering the season and gender as criteria, in the summer Brazilian women use bikinis smaller than Canadian women on the beach. Men, basically, use similar clothes, like T-shirts, shorts and sandals. Still, Brazilian men style is not as formal as Canadian’s style.
